House was very clean and had every thing you would need. Neighborhood was very quiet. Backyard was beautifully landscaped and private. Pool and hot tub were very clean. View from backyard was incredible. Imperial River was full of wildlife. Dolphins, Manatees and plenty of birds. Joe was a great host! Was very attentive. Had great recommendations where to visit and eat. (Enzo's was outstanding). The beaches were nice and clean. Everything you would need are within 5-10 minutes.

Perfect Waterfront Home!

We had such a great stay! The house is tucked in a quiet spot right on the water, but still super close to everything. We biked to the beach a few times, and it was an easy ride. The house is bright and clean. Everything feels fresh and was very comfortable.One of our favorite parts was the pool and backyard. We spent most of our time out back, whether it was lounging by the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, or enjoying coffee in the morning on the private dock over the water.The house was stocked better than most places we’ve stayed! It made the trip relaxed and easy, like we could settle in and enjoy. We’d definitely stay here again!
